Build a Better Bar

A dedicated drinks station makes every day feel like a celebration.

MIX YOUR MOTIVES For a room that shines from day to night, create a dual-purpose space like this library-meetslibations lounge from Christine Zeiler. Its ample shelving provides a place for both booze and books.

These thoughtful spaces combine bespoke finishes with imaginative touches- think ship-inspired architecture, custom stools, and eye-catching backsplashes-to invite conversation, connection, and a well-earned pour.

LOOK FOR LUXE

Opt for elegant materials to create a haute haunt. In this sophisticated setup by Audrey Defforey, warm wood paneling and a high-gloss chocolate ceiling and cabinetry mix with Calacatta Viola countertops.

SIT PRETTY

Think of seating as jewelry for your bar, and pile on the glam accordingly. Here, Lindley Arthur worked with a brass artisan to create custom stools swathed in an aubergine check.
